"The German had been ruled out of the Reds' last three matches with a back niggle that he sustained in the warm-up of the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. He returned off the bench at Molineux in the FA Cup on Friday, replacing Rio Ngumoha."
"Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Conor Bradley are all out for extended spells with their respective long-term injuries. But that means that there is likely to be more consistency in Slot's team selection, with Alisson in goal, despite the Brazilian hobbling off injured in his last trip to Turkey last year."
"Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk will be in the middle, and it is likely to be Milos Kerkez that completes the back four. In midfield, expect Ryan Gravenberch, fresh off his new contract, to be partnered by Alexis Mac Allister, with Dominik Szoboszlai ahead of them."
A German player returns to Liverpool's squad after missing three matches due to a back injury sustained during warm-up before the Nottingham Forest victory. He came off the bench in the FA Cup match at Molineux. Multiple key players remain unavailable with extended injuries, including Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo, and Conor Bradley. Despite these absences, manager Slot is expected to maintain greater consistency in team selection. The defensive lineup features Alisson in goal, Jeremie Frimpong at right-back, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in central defense, and Milos Kerkez completing the back four. Midfield comprises Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, with Dominik Szoboszlai in an advanced role. Mohamed Salah operates on the right flank, while Cody Gakpo plays on the left, with Hugo Ekitike leading the attack.
